Publish Your Book Reviews

May 17, 2006 -- From Jill, a reader, from Oxford, MS, who is affiliated with the site.

The SBJ Book Society, Square Books Jr.’s first official book club, is not your average book club. There are two age divisions with separate meetings. The Phase I group consists of ages 8 through 11 (with some exceptions) and Phase II consists of ages 12 through 15. Both Phase I and Phase II of the SBJ Book Society will choose, read, and discuss one exciting, quality work of fiction every month. We don’t just pick any old book – we compare novels, new and old, and narrow our selection to the most intriguing and relevant titles. SBJ Book Society members are encouraged to write book reviews and post them to the Square Books, Jr. website (publishers and authors love this).

As we enter the summer months, when kids really do need something to do, some 20,000 fourth through twelfth grade youth across the United States who have been touched by books would like to share with other kids their suggestions for reading. From Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, to Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, the students are recommending the books that have changed their own way of thinking about the world.
